Darwin never said that.Is Darwin right, only the fittest will survive? Or is it the senseless, those devoid of knowledge, will meet their dire consequences because of their stupidity (Jeremiah 10:14-18)?
It's mankind's unwillingness to transcend it's animal origins (Darwinist motivations) that will destroy us all.Is Darwin right, only the fittest will survive? Or is it the senseless, those devoid of knowledge, will meet their dire consequences because of their stupidity (Jeremiah 10:14-18)?
Darwin never said that.
This verse is about idolatry, not stupidity.
No, it says this:Survival of the fittest - Wikipedia
The verse is about "everyman is stupid, devoid of knowledge", of which one who practices idolatry, someone bowing down to their idols, would be high on the list. Of course "manna" seems to be the prevalent god/idol of today. The idol made of wood, silver, gold, the pagan cross, which can not speak or hear, which people pay homage to, and kneel to, seems also to be quite prevalent.
Wow. Did you even read your own link?
Exactly. Notice Darwin never said that "only the fittest survive".
Darwin agreed to adopt a phrase of Spencer's, "survival of the fittest" as a snappy catchphrase for natural selection.
As the article you linked to makes clear, what was meant was that the fittest (= best adapted to the environment) subgroup in a population will reproduce the most successfully. There is nothing in Darwin's theory that says "only" these survive. What happens is that, as Darwin explains in his book, the best adapted tend to have the most offspring and so their characteristics come to dominate in the population, after many generations.
My hovercraft is full of eels.Apparently Darwin's adopted phrase of "survival of the fittest", would not include the slow, unless your were a possum, and were good at playing possum, or if you were stupid, unless of course you were a politician..

"Darwinism", or evolution, is about genetic adaptation. It's why a lot of mammals in artic regions have white fur, for example. It gave them an advantage in their environment, making it easier for them to survive and pass on their white fur genes.
Of course you're misrepresenting it due to your religious agenda.
Dumb white furred fox in the artic do not survive. The strong and fittest who can adapt to conditions will survive. Those who see the lemmings jump off a cliff and try and follow will probably not fare well. .
